The way I see it, the best way to hear the actual impact of microphone choice is to hear it in context of a mix, and since I have three pairs of overheads, I threw a song together so I could hear the differences. And filmed it, so of course here’s the video:
414s vs. KM184s vs. R84s
Ribbons won for me. By far the fattest toms and the cymbals seemed the most three-dimensional. That 3D quality is the same reason I love my R121 on guitar amps... maybe I need more ribbon mics.
